Loughton is one of the many villages in Buckinghamshire that became swallowed up by the urban sprawl of Milton Keynes in the 1960s. It is located to the west of the town, about three and a half miles from Milton Keynes Town Centre.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Luhha's estate'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Lochintone.
